THE NSW. Government has tightened overseas licence conversion rules to improve road safety and close long-standing loopholes. From 1 February 2026, drivers and riders aged 25 and over from additional “List B” countries must now pass both knowledge and driving tests to obtain a NSW licence. Under-25 rules remain unchanged. Service NSW is boosting testing capacity with hundreds of extra weekend slots, encouraging applicants to plan ahead and check online availability.
